Match Reports 16/04/13

Two significant events in the Championship last night. Firstly, Keith's Cardiff won promotion to the top flight for the first time in 51 years after a 0-0 draw with Jane's Charlton. However, the free curry spot is not yet secured as Amy's Hull, who lost 1-0 at Shirley's Wolves, can still catch them.
Going the other way, Kelly's Bristol City lost at home to Chris' Birmingham 1-0, confirming their relegation and finishing bottom of the league. Dave's Leeds beat Anna's Burnley 1-0 meaning Leeds are now as good as safe for another season, whilst Burnley have been dragged right back into the fight. Pete's Leicester moved back into the Play off places at Marg's Bolton expense with a hard fought 3-2 victory. Dan's Brighton moved up to 4th with a 0-0 draw against Peterborough, moving Paula's Crystal Palace down to 5th (though on the same points) after being beaten 3-0 (!) by Jan's Ipswich who move 5 points clear of the relegation zone. Scott's Watford lost ground on the automatic places after being beaten 1-0 by Millwall. This leaves them 6 points adrift of Hull with 9 to play for. Mick's Forest blew an opportunity to push back into the play offs after a 1-0 loss to Colin's Middlesborough.
At the lower end of the league, Shirley's Blackburn scored a much needed 1-0 win over Andy's Huddersfield, which moved Blackburn out of the relegation zone and were replaced by Huddersfield. Jim's Derby drew 1-1 with Barnsley and Lyn's Blackpool drew 0-0 with my Sheffield Wednesday, doing neither team any huge favours in the race to avoid the drop. (N.B. It is still possible, even with 3 games to go, that all teams that are 9th (Charlton) and below can still get relegated)
